I understand. I really do miss my Sea Dweller, it was a unique and one of a kind piece, but the date was just too damn small for eyes this age.
That said, when I owned the SD and the Pepsi GMT II, I had two Rolex watches that were very purpose designed, that were icons and yet on their way out, being replaced by updated designs. I still have the GMT II (with all three authentic bezels) which always wears the Pepsi bezel. I do regret still not having both the Pepsi and the old SD, but I needed to be able to read the date, so I traded the SD for the LV.
The LV is a nice watch, no doubt, and I enjoy mine, but if my eyes were better, I believe I would have stuck with the SD. Sub and old SD are both fine diving watches, but the SD was heavier, beefier, just more solid and much more rare; I have yet to see an older SD in the wild.
